A friend of mine, in a WhatsApp message finished the conversation with, "Stay safe."
I responded with: "Why stay safe? What if God's will is to do something that isn't safe (like tell a sinner to repent)? Sure, don't take irrational risks but consider Paul, whose life story demonstrated a stronger commitment to his Lord than to his own personal safety.
Sorry, my friend, it's just that 'stay safe' is fine coming off the lips of the ungodly, but for a man of your maturity in Christ, words like 'keep the faith' or similar would be far more encouraging and strengthening."
